History

While homes in the Victoria Lake community were built around 2006 and later, the community of Weddington has its roots all the back in post-Revolutionary War times, with the town’s namesake family first settling here in the early 1800s. Remaining as a loose-knit agricultural community for more than a century, when nearby Charlotte’s urban expansion began knocking on the door, the town of Weddington made the decision to preserve its rural legacy by incorporating in 1983. Because of that decision, this community today still enjoys it’s small-town charm while drawing benefit and convenience from the urban growth nearby, making it one of Charlotte’s most popular suburbs.
